Tourist Visa works with the purpose to visit family. I always got 10 years visa for my kids with little more money and never had to be panic if had to go in urgency. Kids passports are valid for 5 years but you can travel with new passport and visa on old passport together. If you want you can transfer visa from old passport to new passport but not required. Have safe journey !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks BillyK. Can I apply the VISA to Chicago Indian Consulate (As I am MI Resident) online or I need to send in the mail? How long it takes to get the Visa?

Yes - you need to file with Chicago Consulate. Follow the consulate's web pages and it will guide you thru. You will be applying online and after you need to print the application, mail with basic requirements, passport and fee.

I can only apply for tourist Visa not for OCI or PIO card for my baby?

Can I go to Indian Consulate Chicago and get the Visa same day?

You can apply OCI or PIO but my response was to your original question. Same day Visa is for extremely Emergencies and you have to prove that but even you succeed to get the visa it won't be for a long period of time. Embassy/Consulate does not issue Visas directly and they do use third party you have to go thru. You will get all the answers once you hit the Consulate Web Site. Thanks!
